[Strangers both to themselves and Thee]
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they, &c.
—x. 6.
Strangers both to themselves and Thee,
The robbers of Thy church remain,
They will not understand and see
The difference so severely plain,
Themselves the thieves they will not own,
Or at Thy feet for mercy groan.
The robbers of Thy church remain,
457
The difference so severely plain,
Themselves the thieves they will not own,
Or at Thy feet for mercy groan.
Open, O Lord, their blinded eyes,
Blinded by the infernal god,
Or in Thy people's cause arise,
Whom Thou hast purchased with Thy blood,
Redeem the sheep to hirelings sold,
And chase the thief out of Thy fold.
Blinded by the infernal god,
Or in Thy people's cause arise,
Whom Thou hast purchased with Thy blood,
Redeem the sheep to hirelings sold,
And chase the thief out of Thy fold.
